Abstract:
The aim of this study is to troubleshoot tourism in Iran. Despite possessing diverse historical, cultural, and climatic attractions, Iran has accounted for only a negligible share of the tourism industry's income. The tourism industry in Iran possesses very high capacities for growth and development. According to the report of the World Tourism Organization, Iran ranks tenth in ancient and historical attractions and fifth in natural attractions in the world. Answering the question of what important factors have caused the country to miss out on the economic and cultural benefits of the extensive tourism industry has provided the background for this research. In this article, library resources were used to collect information, and various types of tourism (food, health, dark, adventure, ecotourism, cultural, commercial) and the existing strengths and weaknesses in Iran's domestic tourism have been addressed. Then, effective solutions for improving the tourism situation in Iran have been presented.

*Business Tourism The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) provides a definition of tourism which, according to them, "tourism includes activities that cause people to travel to places outside their usual environment for not more than one year.
Importance of Tourism: Due to its positive social and cultural effects and its impact on economic growth and income generation, tourism is becoming the primary industry in the world, such that according to statistics provided by the World Tourism Organization, about 13% of the world's jobs are directly or indirectly related to tourism, and one out of every 15 people is in this sector.
Therefore, in order to achieve sustainable development goals and provide high-quality services, we must employ specialized human resources and conduct proper planning based on the needs of the existing sector.
This is while the country of Iran, with a share of less than one-fifteenth of the number of tourists in Dubai in the same year, has allocated itself less than one percent of the global revenue share from the tourism industry.
* Another major obstacle to the development of tourism in Iran is the lack of compatibility and harmony between the culture of tourists from some foreign countries and Islamic culture.
